Could you post a pic of the beam pattern?

Latest developments: Been exchanging PMs with Whiteis and am seriously considering the projector upgrade. I saw something he did to the housing I liked as well and may consider that. But right now, the projector upgrade is #1 on the list.

Quite sound. I had a 2008 Edge and the only problems I had were a fan that went out at 60k and a malfunctioning throttle body.

Surprised I haven't seen you around these parts.

Not at all. Just curious. The H-Rated tires did help when it was hot out.

My 2011 Limited is averaging 18.9 with a mixed loop of city and highway. However, the real test is driving to Sedona, AZ because you are literally going up a mountain to get there. My 2011 used 1/2 a tank (went from 3/4 tank to 1/4 tank). Coming back, it used slightly over 1/4 of a tank.

How about some Tokico struts for lowered and non-lowered Edges? We truly have no options if we want to upgrade the suspension.

wannabang: Are you in my backyard? Cellbine: Both Edges I owned have seen the century plus mark. The first Gen wasn't bad. It got better when I went to H-Rated tires. The current Edge does feel different than the first Gen but it does need something to sharpen the handling/steering a bit.

I would do that because it may be due to the trans needing a flash. I have experienced something similar and want to have that done to cure it.

I am taking in to the dealership to have them investigate as well as do an oil change.

This is what I have done so far: - Sent PMs to Whiteis to see about getting a projector swap done - Spoke with Dan to test some new HIDs in the current projectors - Got quotes from Benny about the headlight assemblies but trying to find a Morimoto D3S kit Still doing research. Last night's drive from Sedona required me to drive back with the high beams on a majority of the way. I hardly got blinked at.

After driving the Edge to Sedona, AZ yesterday, I noticed a message that said "Service AdvanceTrak". Has anyone seen that? If so, what is it an indication of?

Dan, when you get these with a 5000K LED, I am interested in testing.

I have come to the conclusion that TRS is a very dangerous site for my pocketbook. That road trip to Buckeye (nee, rural) AZ really has me thinking of ways to seriously upgrade the headlights in the Edge. This is what I have in mind.... a) Replace stock headlight capsules with HID equipped versions from Levittown Ford or Ebay (minus bulbs and stock ballasts) and upgrade to a 50w 5000K D3S bi-xenon kit. Upgrade Stock Halogen Projectors to a 5000K D2S Bi-Xenon setup and one of the clear lenses from TRS Obviously, there are going to be a lot of questions about changing the projector. Can it be done easily without screwing things up? What is the diameter of the lens?

Now, after reading the TRS site, I am also wondering about doing a lens upgrade. Would it be possible with the stock projectors? If so, how big are they?

candurin: The recent drive to Buckeye, AZ is making me think about this and the LED bar very hard.

My 2011 is approaching 45,000 miles. May not seem like a lot but I did buy it with 18,199 on the clock. I am going to do a full 45k service on it including changing the trans fluid and coolant. I really need to do that and replace my battery before summer hits down here.

I've been running 89 on both Edges and will do premium once a month or (maybe) when I am on the highway. However, I do see a difference in how fast some brands burn than others. Chevron seems to go through like water.

I am considering upgrading my HIDs to 50w. I may look at the TRS kits.

I only know of one out in Phoenix. The one we had in Scottsdale closed.

Shantz: I am going to stop at a paint place in Mesa to check out how much the materials I need for this would cost.

Correct, Rusty. I have the Type 1s like Cellbine.

Mine were simple PnP and still working fine to this date. They've already survived one Phoenix summer.

I have heard of some folks putting tint on the inside in order to lower the amount of heat.

Looks like I need to post a few current pics.
